Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xiyan for a while, then suddenly said: "I missed the appointment last time, and the weather happens to be nice today. Why don't we take the opportunity to make up for the regret last time, let's go out of the Marquis Mansion for a walk?"
Gu Xiyan was stunned: "Isn't the young master going back to the official office as an errand?"
"It's not too late." Zhou Mu said, calling Qi Zhiyuan aside and explaining it like this.
Qi Zhiyuan understood and hurried away.
Gu Xiyan didn't know what Zhou Mu was up to, so she let him do it.
About half an hour later, when she and Zhou Mu walked out of the Hou Mansion, Qi Zhiyuan had already prepared the carriage.
It didn't matter, she couldn't help but look at the neat dozen or so young and beautiful girls. They were all as beautiful as flowers, wearing maid buns, standing gracefully and with dignified manners.
Gu Xiyan could tell at just one glance that these girls had all been taught by the palace maids, and they were probably little maids trained in the palace.
Zhou Mu usually acts very low-key, so why did he find so many people to support him today?
This posture is too exaggerated.
She looked at Zhou Mu in confusion, and Zhou Mu said with gentle eyes: "When you go out, there must be someone to serve you, and more people will be prepared for you."
Gu Xiyan thought it was not that simple, but she didn't ask any more questions and got into the carriage with Zhou Mu.
The carriage moved slowly, and soon it arrived in front of a teahouse.
The arrival of Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu made the people who were listening to the book look straight in their eyes.
It is true that their looks are too good. Although the teahouse receives many guests every day, there have never been young men and women with such outstanding appearance and temperament.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are fairy-like figures.
Zhou Mu helped Gu Xiyan sit down, and then asked the waiter to bring the most expensive and best delicacies to Gu Xiyan.
The two of them had such outstanding looks, and there were more than a dozen beautiful maids waiting behind them, so they attracted the attention of everyone in the teahouse just after they appeared.
Gu Xiyan felt uncomfortable when she saw that everyone was not listening to the book and secretly looking at her and Zhou Mu: "How about we go?"
"We just came, don't leave in a hurry." Zhou Mu said and poured a cup of hot tea for Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan was about to take it, but Zhou Mu reminded her softly: "It's too hot, drink it later."
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup, blew the tea to cool down, and then placed it in front of Gu Xiyan.
He is handsome, and his movements of blowing tea are smooth and smooth. This picture is as beautiful as a painting.
Everyone forgot that they were listening to a book, and the storyteller also forgot that he was telling a story. They couldn't take their eyes away from Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan.
Feeling all the caring eyes, Gu Xiyan became even more uncomfortable.
She felt like a monkey, as if she was being watched by everyone.
She couldn't help but tug on Zhou Mu's sleeves and asked in a low voice: "When are you leaving?"
At this moment, Gu Xiyan suddenly remembered Zhou Mu's true identity.
He is the eldest son of Emperor Chengde, the future Emperor. If she marries him, she will bear all kinds of eyes from all directions in the future.
If she can't even stand such onlookers, how can she accompany him to various important events in the future?
Thinking of this, she straightened her spine unconsciously.
"Sit down for a while." Zhou Mu saw her suddenly sitting upright, looking extremely serious.
The way she was sitting upright really made him laugh.
"Why are you sitting so straight?" He couldn't help but asked curiously.
Gu Xiyan raised her head and straightened her chest, and gave him a proud look: "Is my sitting posture okay?"
Zhou Mu couldn't hold it back this time, he turned his back and laughed quietly.
Gu Xiyan didn't understand why Zhou Mu turned his back to her at first, but when she heard his laughter, she immediately became annoyed: "Am I so funny?"
Isn't her sitting posture immodest?
When Zhou Mu turned around, there were still sporadic glimmers of water in his eyes, his eyes were gleaming, and the ends of his eyes were red and seductive.
Gu Xiyan had always known that Zhou Mu had an outstanding face, but when she saw such a charming side of him, her heartbeat suddenly "thumped" loudly, as if her eardrums were shaken.
She shrank in discomfort and her expression changed.
Zhou Mu didn't notice anything strange about Gu Xiyan. He scraped her nose affectionately with his fingers: "It's because you are too cute."
There was still a lingering smile in his eyes, but when he only suppressed his smile, his deep eyes looked at her too intently, looking so affectionate.
Gu Xiyan didn't dare to look at him anymore, her face turned red and hot.
She just turned her eyes and saw all the petrified guests in the teahouse. They were looking at her and Zhou Mu intently.
We can't blame the people at the scene for being surprised. It's really because this couple is so good-looking. In addition, Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan's sweet relationship when they get along is like warm pink bubbles rising in the air.
Those who have been married want to go home and be intimate with their wives, and those who have not been married want to find a partner.
Gu Xiyan's face turned red. When she turned around and saw Zhou Mu still looking at her, she pushed his face away: "Stop looking, many people are watching."
So shameful, can he restrain himself?
The smile on Zhou Mu's face gradually faded, and he glanced around. His aura was so strong that everyone felt like the air had become thinner with just one glance.
Everyone immediately looked away, pretending to look left and then right, but they did not dare to look at Zhou Mu again.
Who is this person? He looks like a fairy, but his aura is so strong that people can't breathe freely, and his evil aura is so strong that it's really scary.
"How about we go?" Gu Xiyan saw that the air around her had dropped to freezing point, and tugged on Zhou Mu's sleeves.
Zhou Mu took her soft, boneless hand and slowly rubbed it in his palm: "Sit for a while and then leave."
Gu Xiyan felt that Zhou Mu was rubbing her hands like steamed buns. She looked at his handsome face, and then looked at her palm which he was playing with. She really couldn't figure out why his temperament was so different.
His appearance is so different.
She endured it and let him go.
Gu Xiyan's hands were freed only when Qi Zhiyuan personally brought melon and fruit snacks.
When eating melon seeds, Zhou Mu, a handsome young man, carefully peeled the melon seed shells. The round and plump melon seed kernels were peeled out from his slender fingers one by one, and he personally fed them into Gu Xiyan's mouth.
Gu Xiyan saw the eyes of everyone around her staring blankly, and suddenly understood Zhou Mu's intention.
It was simply because the whole city was spreading the news that Zhou Mu was going to cancel her engagement, so Zhou Mu took it upon himself to tell everyone that he and her were on good terms and had no intention of canceling the engagement.
The sight of a young man like him peeling melon seeds was so rare that she couldn't help but watch it again and again, let alone the other common people eating melon seeds.
One of the spectators couldn't hold it back and asked the guest next to him who these two people were.
"That's Miss Gu from Wanqinghou Mansion. I met Miss Gu in front of Jixiang Tower during the last Food Festival. If nothing unexpected happened, that young master who was like an immortal was the right Hube who just got engaged to Miss Gu.
